Greetings and welcome to Awakening With Brahma Kumaris.
Welcome, Sister.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti and welcome to Soul Reflections.
Thank you.
I read a beautiful line
I remember growing up with many labels.
Slow learner
Chatterbox.
Selfish.
Attention seeker.
Careless, useless
And one label that had almost become a self-fulfilling prophecy
I am unlucky, my stars are unlucky
My parents unknowingly
Labelling my behaviour and somewhere in the depth of my subconscious
I was re-telling these stories to myself.
Gradually these labels became my reality.
And my life was becoming a mess.
Very powerful.
I am regretting about what I might have said in anger two people at different times.
Every label that he is mentioned.
And the realisation is so beautiful
When did he get those labels? In childhood.
Even after growing up the labels have become the identity.
And we have made that identity, a reality.
This is very deep. Every parent listening to this
Will need to pause, pick a paper and pen
And actually write down the labels they put on their children.
When we do this with children, it can be done with other people also.
What are the labels we put on our children is something to be done as a homework.
To sit down and write specifics. Not generic.
And during the day, if a label comes out in your thought or words for your child
Immediately add it to that list.
Because now it is a part of your vocabulary.
He has mentioned labels like Chatterbox
Slow learner, selfish
He has mentioned that parents would use the labels unknowingly.
Unknowingly means parents are not aware that these words
Will influence the child's personality.
I see people saying - let the child cry, he is only seeking attention.
Attention seeker is also available mentioned there.
Chatterbox, selfish, slow learner
If a child refuses to jump from a height they label him as coward.
This is very important.
Even the staff tells that to the child.
Now you will need to go back and remove all these labels.
He has mentioned a very important point that the labels put on him during childhood.
Started residing slowly in his subconscious
And gradually I started becoming that way.
We feel when we put a label, the child will change.
When we repeatedly label a child as slow learner, we feel when he listens to it continuously, he will change.
Vibration is going to the other soul as it is.
And that soul receives it.
The younger the child, the higher is his receiving power or catching power.
That is why we need to pay more attention to labels put on children.
There is less information
There is less ego developed
There is less usage of intellect yet.
So whatever is told gets accepted by children.
If you look at children who are 1 year, 2 years or 4 years old
Whatever you teach them
They accept it as it is.
You teach a child this is a chair, the child accept that it is a chair.
But if you tell the child - no, it is a table
He will again accept it and start calling it a table.
If you tell the same thing to an adult, he will say it is not a table.
But a child cannot do that.
Even after growing up the child will say - my mother told me it is a table.
At what age was he taught?
It was at an age where the soul was not attached to body or acquired information.
The ego is very low
Catching power at the highest and the soul is in a learning mode.
He is learning everything and who is teaching?
Parents, family and teachers.
Whatever they tell the child
The child accepts everything as it is.
First the child accepts everything that the parents teach, as it is.
At the age of two or three when the child start going to school
When he learns something there, he says - My teacher said this.
Now is the mother tells him something else, he will say - No, my teacher said so.
So we have to look at the growing stage
Responsibility of a teacher and a parent.
It is very important.
One of the lines is so saddening - that he is born unlucky.
Very, very important.
What is unlucky in that case? The Pandit would have prepared his birth chart.
The Pandit might have told about certain stars or planetary positions not being very favourable.
That is the information they got.
The parent accepted that information as it is.
And started repeating it in every small or big situation.
The moment something unpleasant happened at home, they said he is unlucky.
Even if he fell ill they might have said it was already predicted that planetary positions are not favourable.
The moment something went wrong they would say it was already predicted by the Pandit.
A Pandit told a family when a son was born
That he will be unlucky for his uncle.
When that information comes
The moment something goes wrong in that household
If somebody's health is not good or business is not doing well
If success is getting blocked repeatedly
The information that is fitted in
Will come out either in the thoughts or words of the family
That the Pandit had already told us about it.
So whenever that uncle would go to their house, I feel
Whenever he would look at the child he would have created a thought
That the child will bring him bad luck.
He does not even have to meet or even see the child for it to happen.
That thought can come as it is.
Everyone loves their life.
So such thoughts can come.
At that time we have the power
That every thought we create
The kid is absorbing every single word that we are saying.
Look at the power of our responsibility.
Right from when the soul is in the Mother's Womb
Catching power is at its highest.
From the time the child is born, until he is around 6 to 8 years of age.
When he has not yet started using his own intellect completely.
Until then his catching power is at its highest.
The labels attached to him at such time
That line gives a very beautiful realisation
That the label did not just remain as a label
That label has become a reality.
How sad.
It is not just about sad but about how true.
It is true and it is a sad truth.
When we understand the mechanism
Last time you read a quotation that what you see
Is how you treat, and how you treat is what they become.
It is the same line.
That the label you put on somebody
That is how you see them. And how you see them is how you treat them.
How you treat them is what they will become.
Every soul has his own capacity.
Like the labels mentioned - slow learner.
It is a simple label. One child starts walking a little late.
Another child speaks a little late.
Yet another child reads a little late or is a little late in writing.
They are all different.
We need to remember that the soul who has come to your house as a child
Has come with his past.
Every soul comes along with his past.
That past will include past Sanskars.
Past Karmic accounts
Capacity of the soul
Which will be different from other souls.
Slow learner in reference to whom?
But if a child is really lazy or slow learner
Is it not a fact then?
Out of concern parents say that. I have seen in a family
They told about a boy that he will not earn anything.
Later he died at the age of 42 as a pauper.
Did they foresee the fact?
Or it happened because of what they said?
How can we believe that?
Okay, let us see what we can do.
Soul has come with a Sanskar.
The soul has come with the past Karmic account.
First of all we need to look at every soul individually.
We should never compare one soul with another.
Most labels get attached because of comparison.
Slow learner as compared to somebody else.
Careless as compared to somebody else.
It is relative.
If you look at a soul individually, then labels don't get attached.
It is relative to somebody else.
But this soul, that soul and another soul
And any other child with whom you are comparing your child
All those children have come, carrying a different past with them.
They have carried different Karmic accounts with them.
They have carried different Sanskars with them.
By comparing with somebody else
By putting the label
What did you do to his present?
Suppose I am a soul carrying a heavy past account.
It is possible that my past Karmic account is heavy.
It could be possible that my intelligence level is a little lower.
This is my past.
Like you mentioned, it is a reality.
Yes it will be visible.
Yes and that is the reality.
That soul has carried it with him.
You mentioned about the child who was lazy so the elders told him he will not earn anything once he grows.
That he will not earn, he is careless and lazy.
It is the reality. Where was it created? In the past.
The soul has carried that past and come here.
The past is a reality.
My parents and relatives are able to see it.
It will be visible. Tomorrow when I go to school even the teacher can see it.
This reality is from the past.
Now the elders in the family have a choice.
Whether they want to make the past, as the present.
And make the present into the future.
Or change the present today
So that the future also changes.
How?
I have brought a Sanskaar with me.
We have all seen that Sanskars can change.
That is our firm belief.
That we can change our Sanskars.
It is not necessary that we continue with our old Sanskar.
They can be changed.
Is there any Sanskar which cannot change?
No.
It means any Sanskar can be changed.
Definitely.
Sanskar can be changed you something we need to fit here, within.
I have done it and so I am sure about it.
All of us understand that we can change Sanskars.
May not be everybody because some people say - I am a Sagittarian, so I have this habit.
Whether or not we have experimented with it
If we look at our own life
A lot of our Sanskars change.
Some people will be very peaceful, but later on start becoming very irritated or angry.
Somebody would be lying earlier but now starts speaking the truth.
Somebody would always be late but now they come in time.
They say this girl was different before her marriage but now she has changed.
Somebody was honest earlier but now has taken to corruption.
And someone was corrupted earlier, later had a realisation and now is honest.
There is no one who has not changed a Sanskar.
You are right.
Whether you change it with awareness or change it unaware, depending on your situation.
Every soul has seen their Sanskar change, in the current lifetime.
We are feeling it more because we are consciously working towards it.
But it can change even when we are unaware.
So the first thing I need to fit here is that Sanskars can change.
Any Sanskar can be changed.
A child will not know how a Sanskar can be changed.
But we know that they can be changed.
So now we should use this power we have
At this time when the child's absorption power is at its highest.
We should give such a vibration
Which will influence that soul
And that soul uses it to change his Sanskar.
Tomorrow when the child grows into an adult
When he is about 10 or 20 years of age
At that time he will have to put in more effort to change his Sanskars.
Just like how we are putting in effort to change our Sanskars.
Because the existing Sanskar would have become very strong by then.
But children are at that age
Where their Sanskars can be easily changed.
And parents, family and teachers have the power to change that Sanskar in the child.
Now that child has brought his past.
The reality is visible.
You asked what to do when it is visible.
It is visible but it is a reality from the past.
What is the present reality we want to create?
That is a choice we have.
The reality that is visible.
Today if we put that label on the child
It becomes confirmed or stamped.
Not just confirmed, it will get increased.
It gets confirmed.
But it will increase because of it.
If everyone tells the child you are like this
It is like a blessing for the child.
This is also like a blessing.
If everyone tells a child - you are a slow learner
Family tells him at home and when he is at school, teacher also tells in the same thing
When teacher tells that, even his friends hear it.
So his friends also start telling him the same thing.
Even if they don't say, they at least think that way.
When a soul gets the same vibration from everyone around
Wont that soul absorb those vibrations?
He already has that Sanskar from the past, and now he has absorbed these vibrations.
That label is attached to him
He has received those vibrations
So what happens to that past Sanskar?
It will increase all the more.
Even its opposite is possible?
That there is a Sanskar from the past.
But let us put a different label.
If a child is slow in reading and we are calling him a slow learner.
Someone is reading or writing at a slow speed
Or learning a little slowly in comparison to our expectation or to other children
Now we put a label on that child.
We have a choice.
Labels have a lot of power.
So it's very interesting to put labels on people.
But we just need to do it very carefully.
With the awareness
Whatever is the label we put on a person
It will become the reality for him.
Now let's add the label.
When we put a label, we get the power to make it a reality.
He is a super-fast learner.
Just see this line.
As soon as you put this label
And you think of it and say it several times repeatedly
And tell the entire family to think and say it repeatedly
Can we not say
There is no hurry, let the child learn slowly at his speed?
No.
He is a super-fast learner, very intelligent.
Because we have the understanding that the soul has come with a certain capacity
But we also have the understanding that vibrations have the power
To increase that capacity.
So we should not stop his capacity where it is.
Why should we allow it to be as it is?
Suppose a child has brought a little bit of anger from the past.
We should not say it is okay that the child has only a little anger.
We can make the child peaceful, is it not?
The child has brought with him a little anger
If we put a label that he is an angry child
His anger will increase.
If we put a label that he is peaceful and he is an Angel
He becomes peaceful.
When children come to me to play I first tell them that there very lovable and play very fair.
Most important is, everybody has to do this in the mind also.
Label is not about what we only speak.
Suppose two kids pick a small fight while playing
One child is suppose hitting the other
Usually we put a label that the child fights a lot.
That he hits other children, he is very aggressive.
We should not put that label.
Now we have the understanding that we should not put such labels.
So we start telling them that they are very loving.
That they will play together well
But they will be happy in each other's company.
We need to pay attention that whatever we are speaking
Check whether the mind and the mouth are in harmony.
Suppose I create a thought - now these children have met
Hope they don't start fighting with each other.
Hope he doesn't hit that child today
But I am telling them they are very loving and will play well together.
Then effect will be lesser.
Because soul catches vibrations.
Words do have their energy
Definitely we should start changing it at the level of words.
But then do not restrict it to only the level of words.
Better words are very beautiful
That our blessings through words are good.
Take it to the level of thoughts.
If a child fights a little often, what is the label we will put?
A very loving child, peaceful child.
Keep sending these vibrations through your thoughts repeatedly to that child
The reality of that soul will change.
But if everyone looks at the reality and things about that reality
Then the reality which is visible will increase all the more.
But still I know that I am using a technique and it is not the truth.
It is a technique but not the truth?
This is the technique to make it the truth.
One thing we need to be very convinced
Otherwise every time this will be an obstacle
When people say what we are supposed to think is not the truth.
We should not think of the reality that is visible.
We should think of the reality that we want to create.
What is our equation at this time?
That whatever is the situation at present, we think about it.
Because today we are not using the power of the mind.
So we start thinking of whatever is visible.
If we recognise our power
That whatever we think of, will become the reality tomorrow
This is science and this is the technique.
When the soul power is weak then external circumstances will influence it.
What happens is, we think of what is visible.
But when the soul realises the power of thoughts
That whatever we think of, becomes the reality
Then how does it seem to be a lie?
It is not a lie. Whatever we think, that becomes the reality.
Because our thought power is a vibration which radiates
And it reaches the child.
Today let us remove each and every level
First let us remove them from our words, even if we are unable to do it from thoughts.
And then consciously remove them from our thoughts also.
If a child in your house does not eat well
These days it is a problem in many homes.
So what level do we apply?
That he eats well, including vegetables.
He lovingly eats whatever is served
Firm belief, radiate, label, blessing, and make it a reality.
If a child fights, put a label that he is very loving.
He is peaceful.
He cooperates with everyone.
Suppose a child is not willing to share his things with other children.
If he is very possessive about them.
If whatever is visible, we put a label according to that
Then 20 years from now, that boy will not share anything with others.
At that time if he is asked to change himself
It will be very tough at that time for that child.
We see that we need to put in more effort to change our Sanskars now.
If parents keep telling him later, to change
He might say - I cannot change and I am fine the way I am.
A soul will change his Sanskar only when he feels the need to change.
In future maybe that boy will feel his Sanskar is right.
He will not want to share anything with others and he feels fine that way.
He says - I don't want to be with anyone. I am alone and happy.
He will not change his sanskar even if parents tell him.
It won't happen unless he himself realises.
So we have the power today
Let us do this as a homework.
Let us sit down and do a detailed subtle checking
Of the labels we put on people.
And what is the reality we want?
Use the power. Whatever is the reality you want, put that label.
Think and speak only about that label. Tell others also about that label.
So that gradually other people also apply that same label.
Collectively if we do, it miracles will happen.
That is definite.
Thank you so much, Sister.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Thank you.
